HDD crashed

I have a modded xbox with an x3 chip. My 160GB Hdd crashed and will no longer boot the xbox. I bought a new 250GB HDD to replace it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to install it? A friend modded my xbox and he is out of town for a week, and I don't want to wait to get my xbox going. PLEASE HELP

 

Do you have autoinstaller CD? Or any CD has the dashboard, apps. Load it up with xbox. You will see some options like format hdd, install dashboard, install emulators, etc... Then choose format hdd to format your new hdd. Then choose install dashboard.

 

NO I don't have an autoinstaller cd... Can you tell me where to download one? My old hdd had EVOx on it.....
I had the atari 2600 and nintendo emulators too, but I don't have a disk with those on it either...

 

You can follow this link and download it. It has everything like dashboards, bios, apps, emulators.

does this installer have the Evox dashboard?

thanks for your help so far.

 

Yes

 

Ok I downloaded the Slayer's autoinstaller. Dropped in the new hdd. and tried to boot from the CD, but all I get is the FlashBIos 3.0.1 blue screen. So I downloaded the bios, followed the directions to make a flash CD, and when it starts to flash, I get a message that says, "Unknown flash! Halting". It is the correct bios. How do I fix this???

 

YOur xbox worked before. That means chip, bios are ok. Why do you reflash it? Did you flash the right bios for your xbox version? Do you still have the old working bios on X3? X3 has many banks. If you want to flash new bios, then flash it to an empty bank.

Maybe you didnot burn the Slayer CD right.

 

Can you go back to FlashBIos 3.0.1 blue screen? I know you can load the backup bios of X3. Then reflash it.

 

right before the old hdd crapped out, I got the same flashbios screen. So I am beginning to wonder whether or not the problem was with the hdd or something with the x3...
Whenever I boot the xbox it goes directly to the blue flashbios 3.0.1 screen. I do not know how to proceed from here..

 

this is what you see when you turn on xbox now.

 

yes that's it.

 

sorry

 

ok Which bios did you flash? what is your xbox version? Can you flash it through the network?

 

what do you mean "which bios did I flash?" Iused flashbios 3.0.1, which is what is on the blue screen. I have a v1.6 xbox. I do not know how to flash it through the network.

 

You need to read this for the bios.

you also need M8_16 bios to boot the dashboard on v1.6
